Mr.. John W. Shields, one of the INTEL.
IIaENcEE's typos, organized a Union
Sunday School in Varennes Township,
about four miles south of the city, several
months ago, and since then it has met
regularly every Sunday afternoon. The
School is in most fourishing condition,
and is doing good work. Mr.. Shields is
the Superintendent, and last Sunday after"

Some boys shooting at pigeons with a
sling-shot, in the rear of the Auditors

and sent rock crashing through one of
the windows, which scattered the frag-

against using sling-shots on the streets,
and it will doubtless be enforced if the
boys do not leave their sling.shots at home
or keep them in their pockets when they
are on the streets.

him to be an excellent Railroad man, yet
we might expect great deal at the hands

the lecture by Gen. Del Keinper in the
basement of the Presbyterian Church OH
last Monday evening were greatly pleased
with the concise, scholarly and erudite
manner in which the speaker handled
the subject of earthquakes, giving the
salient points in the history of the more
noted shakes of the world, and the theory
of the causes which produce them. Gen.
Kemper is 8 clear and vigorous writer,
and shows the scholar as well as the
thoughtful, discriminating student in his
address. We trust that the General will

Essting and instructive.
OF all the magazines with which we are
